I have a white ring on the ball of my left foot. It doesn't really have any feeling, but it is very unattractive. I have tried everyday to scrub it off with a scrubby thing, and it is doing no good. Does anyone know what this is and what I can do to make it go away. PLEASE HELP!

There are many causes of a circular ring but without seeing it it would be impossible to speculate. But I would highly recommend your doctor examine the lesion. It could be ring worm which is a fungus and would require an anti-fungal medication.

Thank you very much for your help. The only reason I didn't believe it was ring worm was because it is white. Everything I have seen on ring worm is red. I have also been using anti-fungle spray to try to get it to go away, it hasn't done any good. Again, thank you so much for your help!

I came back to say that the "ring" on my foot is a wart. Just incase it happens to anyone else! Thank you!

Thanks for the follow-up
